It's true in developed and developing countries, it's probably not true in all poor countries. I'd guess the driver makes for a larger share of the cost in Portugal than in the US.
But the one most important factor defining the total cost by trip is the number of passengers by trip. If 60 people all show up to pay the driver's daily salary, it gets quite cheap.
- bpicolo 1y agoPortuguese salaries are miserable
- marcosdumay 1y ago"Miserable" like in "covers the cost of a $300k machine in 15 years"? Bus drivers don't get software developer salaries.
- tiagod 1y agoAs in $1000/month before taxes, with rent for pretty much any apartment costing quite a bit more than that.
